Still makes me happy
These last two shows were not the best, we all know that(and it sucks that people love to complain about it), but there are moments where Jerry is present,
...
and those little sparks make me happy. The venue was no known for it sound, but I do recall my seats for the first night being in a good area sound wise. VOJ brings tears to my eyes to this day. I would still rather see these shows again than any of the recent incarnations of the band nowadays.

Go Easy
Wow, man. There's a lot of hurtful words on here. This was a great group of songs we are blessed to listen to. Jerry struggled with the expectations
...
that listeners put on him. So, "If mercy is your business, I wish it for you." Thank you Jerry and rest your soul easy. Love you, Jerry.

Why do we down this show because of problems at others?
The standard critiques--Jerry forgets all the words, he was a shell of himself--fall apart if you listen to Visions. By this point he was using a teleprompter,
...
and he nails the words with the exception of one line. The guitar sound, which is no doubt way too thin for most of the rest of this tour, is spot-on here. There are weak points in this show, but this VoJ is spectacular. This is the only show my wife ever _saw_, after collecting shows for years (back when you needed a tape player and friends) and she thought it was pretty good. Not stellar, but good. There were other shows on this tour that were good too--3 rivers comes to mind.
Some of that is pretty brutal. I saw an "Unbroken Chain" a few shows earlier and it was very sad. You couldn't even hear Garcia and his back was to the
...
audience. The Visions Of Johanna" is the same one that's on "Fallout from the Phil Zone". Garcia could still handle a simple song at that tempo but that's about it. They should have taken some time off and given it a break.

Not Cool?
Why is it not cool to state the obvious? That Jerry was a shell of his former self and was forgetting the words to many a song throughout the last few
...
years and cetainly nightly on the last tour. I saw Unbroken Chain at Shoreline (Mt View, CA) in June of 1995 and it was awful! I would have never thought that was possible a few years before that, but Jerry was such a weak link in the end...and it sucks to have to say that but it's the truth.

Windy City
Well, I was at this show and it didn't sound this good where I was sitting. In fact the sound quality was straight up bad. But then, Soldier Field is not
...
a good venue for concerts. Thanks for the great recording and for bringing back the memories!
